Easy, fun dress
Is the print unusual? Yes. Is the slit perilously high? Yep. Does it matter? Not at all! This was a fun, easy to wear dress that stood out in a room full of LBDs and black pleather pants. This dress was so easy to wear - just pull on and go!!! Paired with booties and a leather jacket - perfect for fall. Usually wear an 8, but found the 10 fit much better.

Bouquet Slip Dress
Adam Lippes x RTR
Size Worn: 10
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 6"
Bust: 32D
Not for curvy girlies
Wanted to love this dress, but it didn’t fit at all. I am normally a size 8, and couldn’t even get the dress on. The 10 was so tight, the dress pulled across the middle and it felt like I wouldn’t be able to sit or move. Would be super cute on someone with a straighter build.

Wanted to love but...
First, I got the large that fit great in the hips but was too big up top. Then tried the medium, but the perfect top meant the hips were snug. Probably could have worn it, but wouldn't have felt great in the dress. Super comfy and cute, but much better for people with a more athletic build.

Flowy & beautiful
The fabric is so velvety, soft and flowy! It fits the curves nicely but isn't tight at all. Super comfortable to wear, and no bra needed depending on your confidence level!

So easy to wear!
This dress is both comfortable and classy. The back cutout is just right, the fit of the top is good, and can be dressed up or down. Got so many compliments, too!

Nice dress but a lot of fabric
The dress fit nicely, but was a lot of fabric for my figure - especially around the waste and I ended up not wearing it. There's no back, so no way to wear a bra, but easily solved with sticky tape!

Super pretty but…
This was a super flattering dress and very sparkly (great for the holidays!) but beware of you have hips!!!! I am usually a M but even the L was too tight - I was afraid the dress would split if I sat down.

This dress is 🔥
Fit true to size and absolutely perfectly. It’s cut low, but in a way that’s not overexposed. There is no back, so wearing a bra is close to impossible. But sexy af and perfect for a date!!

Fun & easy to wear
This dress fits perfectly & shows off your curves. It's definitely busty, but not aggressively so. I went braless (32D) and felt completely comfortable all night, even dancing! The skirt is nice & swirly and...pockets!!!!!

Sparkly stunner
This dress fit very well, showing off the curves. The slit was a little risqué when seated, but totally manageable. The dress was very comfortable. The sequins around the underarms chafed from dancing, and my arms were red the next day. But otherwise they weren't a problem.

Trendy and fun for fall
The dress fit perfectly and is right on trend for the season. Wore with pointy-toe ankle boots & a leather jacket to make the dress a little less twee. The perfect combination! Would rent again.

Fun, sassy dress
The dress was just a little snug in the hips, but had no problems with it riding up or anything. The dress is definitely boxy, but my husband still said I looked great in it! The pic makes it hard to see the detailing, so I didn't post, but I got tons of compliments on the dress! It has great movement and is fun to wear.

Mel Dress

This dress is fire! "Wow! You're hot!" - my husband.
This dress hugs like nobody's business. Hubby actually did a double take when he saw me in it. The dress felt a little tight at first, but once I was at the party, eating & having fun, it didn't bother me at all. The top definitely runs big, but perhaps an extra bra or a NuBra would help with that. (I just used the built-in one.)

Loved, but didn't fit
This is such a cute, fun sweater but it didn't fit right with the girls. Better for a smaller-busted person.

I like the versatility of this piece - it can be your shirt or worn over a cute top. Looks great with leggings and boots. Got lots of compliments on it!

Easy, everyday blouse
This is a great blouse for everyday - it's so easy to throw over Bermuda shorts or jeans. Only gave it 4 stars because, for me, the cut wasn't super flattering. It was still fun to wear!

Fun, fuzzy sweater
This sweater skims the body, but isn't tight. It looks great on - my husband thought a looked great and a friend asked if I'd lost weight! Truly magical. Can be a little itchy, but not bothersomely so.

This was just a fun, easy sweater to wear for everyday. The cut is a little weird - it fell a little funny, to my eyes, but I got lots of compliments on it!

An easy, everyday look with a little ruffle for charm.
Not a totally sexy or memorable sweater, but a super comfortable, cozy one to wear with leggings or skinny jeans. The ruffle at the throat gives it a little dash of style. Would rent again!

Cozy and cute
Really liked this sweater. It was warm and soft and the white peeking out at the sleeves and hem are cute. It definitely ran big and boxy - there is a lot of extra fabric! also I am usually a M so not sure why I ordered a L. The sleeves were the right length though.

I really wanted to like this dress, but it's just didn't work for me!
This dress is probably best for straighter, smaller-busted people. It looked okay without a bra, but that wasn't the most flattering look. With a bra (one that was very low in the middle; a regular bra was very visible!) the top puckered and fit funny around the arms. I wanted to like it, but it just wasn't for me. :-(

Gorgeous dress!
This dress fit perfectly! I am usually an 8 but the 10 was ideal. The straps did slip off the shoulders a bit, but it really didn't bother me at all. The color was gorgeous and I got tons of complements!! Definitely need a backless or Nubra as the back is just a bit too low for a regular one.
